Psychiatrist Dr Karl O'Sullivan talks about Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) effectiveness rates in treating depression based on research studies. He shares insights on why success rates can vary and why, in quite a large percentage of cases CBT, may not be effective in treating depression. He talks about the importance and learning benefits of evaluating the CBT with your physician or therapist, even if it was not successful.
This video is a companion to another one which explains other therapy options for treating depression.
